Some people

ff and I took the kids out to Boston Pizza. That's fancy for us. We went at around 2 pm, because bringing 6 kids to a restaurant can be kind of a challenge. The place was empty-ish. There was a table with some teenagers near the door. While we were waiting for them to shove some tables together, I hear someone counting. And then arguing. And then more counting. I realized she was counting my kids. By the time we got to the table, she has stood up on her chair, she said "See, I told you...1 2 3 4 5 6!" I looked at her and said "Congratulations, 6 is a really high number to count to." I honestly don't think she got it. We got our drinks and ordered our food, and of course Parker couldn't wait. He was hungry and tired and wanted to let everyone within earshot know. To calm him down, and allow other people to eat, I decided to nurse him. As he was 'assuming the position' I heard the woman behind me pipe up. "Oh my god. No! She isn't! She is not going to do that right here. No! Oh my gosh! Oh. My. Gosh. She is. She is doing THAT right here in the middle of the restaurant. Don't you look over there, don't you look!" Mind you, I was merely nursing a baby, not masturbating, at the table. So I nursed the baby and he shut up. I sat him on my lap for a few minutes and shoved crackers into his face. The lovely woman, who was sitting behind me, and her family left. They bus boy came and cleared their table. Then he washed the table. But, not without spraying my entire back with cleaning solution. Awesome. All in all, our fancy lunch/dinner was good. Nobody spilled a drink. Nobody cried. Nobody complained. Nobody embarrassed me. If it wasn't for other people, we would eat out way more often.

6 things

6 Random things about me...

1. I hate when my face is wet. Even in the shower, as soon as I wash my face, I will dry it off.
2. I met my husband on the internet .
3. I am a candy addict. MMs, Milky Way, Twix, Mounds. If it weren't for the consequences, I woukld grab one every time I was at the grocery store checkout.
4. I wear earplugs to bed everynight, and in the event they are lost, I may just cry.
5. I delivered my 10 pound 9 ounce baby underwater.
6. I wish I still took tap dancing lessons.
